    Eggs Benedict
    PT S.

    Deliciós. Simply delicious. We weren't thinking brunch, but here we are after so many other lower rated restaurants were full up. Variety of offerings for Sunday brunch aka something for everyone. Fast service. The chorizo hash was stellar sensation for the tongue. The Eggs Benedict sauces also very delectable. Outdoor patio on the street. But like many streets in Barcelona, the sun is not able to reach the ground through the surrounding buildings.

    Burger with Foie and caramelized onions!
    Lisa M.

    If I could give six stars I would! We've been in Spain for a few weeks and I've been craving a burger. Arrived in Barcelona late last night and this place is around the corner from my hotel. We chose to sit inside away from the smokers. The vibe was chill and all three servers were friendly and spoke English. The menu is full of options but I went for the burger. It was amazing! Super juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly! The grilled foie gras was a decadent topper and coupled with the caramelized onions and warmed bun, I was in burger heaven! I opted for no Parmesan shavings and would have loved to see a nice briny pickle on the side to balance the rich and savory sandwich. Service was attentive and music was at a great level. We are here for a week and I'm already looking at the menu for my next meals there! A must visit!

    Charcuterie
    Rise G.

    Had a great experience at Firebug; the service and food were great. We ordered the gyoza, charcuterie, and patatas bravas. The outside seating area is large, has a great vibe and is good for people watching. Everyone that worked there were happy and really seemed to enjoy what they do.

    Vanilla iced latte and Shakshuka
    Christine F.

    The food here was so delicious, and fueled me for the day. I had a vanilla iced coffee and a shakshuka with gluten free bread. Overall menu was a bit more "American-ish " then other places with hamburgers and pastrami sandwiches. But I was with people who ordered both and they said they both tasted amazing

    Smoked salmon,  chorizo, and pancakes (listed on the menu as "pennyfarthing."
    Mike B.

    The duck is delicious. It is a riff on Peking duck. The meat is tender and shredded (reminded me or barbacuá.) The blueberry sauce is a bit less overwhelming than the traditional plum sauce can be. The charcuterie is also excellent, with jamón ibérico, chorizo and other delicious takes on cured pig I should add that I came back for breakfast the next day. I had the "Pennyfarthing." One suspects the term originated with the British. But for my fellow Yankees, it is a pancake with all the fixins. Bananas, jam, berries, nuts and syrup.

    New York bagel
    Youri Y.

    My mom and I were perusing around after checking out Arc de Triumf and decided to eat here for brunch. They don't have a tapas menu during brunch so we went with the NY bagel and Asian chicken salad lol Surprisingly, the food here was really good. Ingredients tasted fresh and portions were huge. We shared a slice each of the New York bagel and split the Asian chicken salad. We washed it down with mimosas and they even gave us small sampler shots of the bloody mary which was eve more tasty! I wish I ordered the bloody mary but I also knew I did not want to break the seal later on lol The service was solid just as the wifi. Bathrooms are modern and clean located upstairs. For the Aemrican style brunch fare, this place was really good and a nice change actually from tapas lol

    Best vacation brunch yet! Brenda is the best server! We enjoyed the nicely shaded outdoor seating. Food and drinks were perfect! We may need to return for dinner service before we head home. Yum!

    The minute you walk in, and go down the stairs, you are reminded of the wonderful places that used to exist in the early 1990s in Los Angeles, California. Five star food all around. Fully stocked bar for those who are in need. Generous portions of food. Freshly squeezed juices and smoothies. No Almond Milk (just a heads up) and the yelp coupon upon first check-in isn't available any longer. Also the Spanish customary tip isn't automatically included on the bill, you'll have to add that yourself. It's a lovely place for breakfast or brunch.

    brunch!
    Karen L.

    Came in for brunch, they have really nice outdoor seating and you can enjoy some nice people watching. Their coffee is excellent, I ordered a mocha and the whipped cream that came on it was delicious! The pancakes I got were ok, not as fluffy and tasty as they are in the US. Eggs benedict was GREAT, highly recommend getting that if you're a fan of benedict. Pretty well-portioned meals, definitely worth a visit.

    The food is so good we ate here 2 days in a row. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely come again.

    The decor is fun. The bar is made out of stacked suitcases.

    This restaurant does not disappoint. Everything is good and the service is excellent for Barcelona standards, ha ha Their burgers are yummy and the brunch looks delicious based on what the adjoining table ordered. Check it out!

    Ummm! OMG, this Chorizo Hash with Eggs is tasting amazing! My spinach is wonderfully prepared, tasty and a robust flavor. I will get back but YES!

This was our first time visiting Barcelona and this restaurant with our friends for dinner. We passed by and liked the posted menu in English. The place was packed with patrons for dinner, therefore we assumed this was a good local place for us to stop for dinner. Despite that the place was packed with customers we scored a table for four in the rear of the restaurant. I started with and enjoyed my portal (blanco Joven), which is a dry garnacha blanca 90% sauvignon Blanc and Viognier for 4 Euros. I enjoyed my patatas pulled pork bravas potatoes with carnitas, poutine sauce and chilli sour cream for 12 Euros. My friend also enjoyed his patatas pulled pork bravas potatoes. We all enjoyed our tapas. I also ended my dinner with a Cerv Jarra cervezas draft beer for 4.90 Euros. My friend also enjoyed the same cervezas draft beer. My total bill for the four of us was 81.30 Euros or USA $94.44 based on the current exchange rate. Our server Contado, who also spoke English, served us very well. After we visited I found one other nearby Alsur Cafes, which may or may not be affiliated with this Alsur Cafe restaurant. We agreed we will return here again. More to come regarding tomorrow's tour of the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell.

Our server, Amaya, was funny, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He took great care of us, and every single recommendation he made was delicious. I wish I knew all the Spanish names of the dishes because everything was amazing. The highlights for us were the Bacalao -- so tender and full of flavor -- and honestly the best octopus I've ever had in my life. We also loved the soft steak with duck liver served on a slice of French baguette, the shrimp skewers, patatas, and the Spanish ham with tomato toasts. Every dish was unforgettable. On top of the incredible food, the restaurant itself has such an elegant atmosphere with beautiful décor that made the whole dining experience even more special. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Barcelona!

I came here for lunch, and thankfully I didn't have to wait too long before I got seated inside. The interior is a bit on the smaller side, but it's quite bright with a lot of natural sunlight inside. For the food, I decided to get squid, codfish with honey allioli, and iberian ham montaditos. While all of the food was great, for me the codfish was hands-down the star of the show and probably one of the best dishes that I ate on the trip. The flavor of the sauce combined with the texture of the fish actually blew me away, and I can see why my server highly recommended this to me. If you just get one things when coming here, definitely make sure not to miss this dish. Highly recommend checking this place out for Spanish tapas, they represent the cuisine well!

Caravelle is quaint and modern, and the service is definitely on the more lax side. Note: smaller parties may be seated at the communal table, and this place stays busy! Be prepared for a bit of a wait. I started with a café con leche, and although I'm not usually a sweets-for-breakfast kinda person, the croffle looked too enticing online to pass up. Being a huge egg aficionado, I also ordered a side of eggs à la carte. My coffee arrived quickly, but after waiting 30 minutes, I noticed that guests who had arrived after me were already enjoying their meals... When I checked in with the waiter, it turned out my order hadn't gone through at all. I had to reorder, and while waiting, I asked for another café con leche since I was long overdue for a refill. Unfortunately, that second coffee never came--but on the bright side, my meal eventually did. The croffle was freaking divine. Crispy/flakey on the outside, and soft inside. The cream was sweet, but not overpowering, and the tart of the berries balanced out the meal. As I was getting ready to check out, the waiter asked if I had ever received my second café con leche. Embarrassed for them, I admitted that I hadn't... Realizing they'd made ANOTHER mistake, he apologized profusely and quickly asked the barista to make me one to go. To compensate for my time and patience, he generously comped my entire meal, leaving me to pay only for the initial coffee (2.50 euros). Despite the service hiccups, the food was incredible--truly one of my favorite breakfasts in Spain.
